Friday Football Notes
A rare Friday post about something other than music promoted by the beginning of college football and an interesting night at a high school game earlier this week. KU Football I was thinking last night that there have been very few falls in my life when KU fans were genuinely excited about the coming football season. I’m talking about the…
Weekend Notes
Even down a kid, it was a pretty busy week. Although some of that activity was due to the missing kid. Jinxed Myself I mentioned in last week’s post that I was off the hook for driving to/from school for awhile. Well, not so fast… C got rear-ended leaving campus by another student on Monday. No injuries, thankfully. Her car…
Weekend Notes
Lots of lasts and firsts over the past seven days. Let’s see if I can get through them all without getting too wordy or emotional.

Weekend Notes
No major events from the weekend to share. We were busy, though. The weekend was all about preparing to be social then actually being social around the pool.

Weekend Notes
We’ve hit a cycle of boom-bust weekends that should extend at least a couple more weeks. This was one of the bust weekends. At least for four of us. M had parties all weekend, I believe she had 12 she could have attended from Friday through Sunday. We met her at one of her buddy’s on Sunday and she looked…
Grad Night, Part 2
We had our final official event at St P’s last night: the graduation of L’s 8th grade class. We got a new priest a little over a year ago after our long-time, very popular priest retired. The new guy has received a decidedly mixed reaction. As I’m not Catholic I won’t get into the details. That said, homie knocked out…
